Ummm, maybe you could tell us a bit more about your network/internet connection? /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/resolv.conf contents would also be helpful You can put them to a file by putting in a floppy disk (dos formatted) cat /etc/resolv.conf > somefilename cat /etc/sysconfig/network >> samefilename cp somefilename /mnt/floppy then you can send us the info by copying it to your windows machine and pasting it into your email.
